Star Trek DSN List of Lists
compiled by Mark Holtz

DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", and all other related items are copyright and

Paramount's legitimate copyright and trademarks is purely unintentional, and

of the reader only, and may not be sold.
This is the Star Trek DSN List of Lists. It contains a listing of all the
episodes for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" TV series, plus some added notes.
(Due to length considerations, there is a separate TOS/TAS, Movies, and TNG
List of Lists) This list comes out around the 1st of every month, with a
repost on the 16th on the month, except July and August, when it will come out
on the 1st only. However, a posting may not come out due to events beyond my
control.
If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
enjoyment of "Star Trek", and enjoy the wealth of information from fellow Star
Trek fans who post on the electronic networks. After being irritated by the
ever constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I decided that, in the
middle of 1990, to post a list of episodes on a regular basis. It soon grew
from that, and, with the contributions of other people, these lists grew to
what you see today. (And still growing). The only payment I ask is thanks and
contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations.

- - Dramatis Personae

- - Hands of the Prophets
Vortex - Odo journeys through the wormhole in search of answers to his origin.
Another 'fabulous object' story, and the Ferengi naturally want it.
Battle Lines - terrorist story.
Story Teller - A young girl meets Nog and the Sisko Kid, and the overhear some
aliens plotting. Much of the story is set on Bajor, which is where the story
teller of the title comes in.
Progress - Takes place of Bajor and features Bajorans who dislike the
Federation. It will also deal with the religious choas caused by the Orbs
being not messages, but space probes.
If Wishes Were Horses - The imaginations of the crew suddenly go out of
control and becomes real. It will be revealed that Odo doesn't have a sense of
smell.
The Foresaken - Lwaxana Troi drops by for a visit, and takes an interest in
Odo, the shapeshifter.
Hands of the Prophets (?) - The final episode is not a cliff hanger and it
involves a Bajoran religious leader objecting to Keiko teaching science in her
class and wanting Bajoran childern to learn religious stuff instead.
- Nog has something he wants to sell. Kira spends much of this episode on the
planet, with a Bajoran group.
Also rumored.....
* The cast goes through the wormhole.
* Kei Opaka will be reappearing.
* There's supposed to be an episode _very_soon_ that explains this in a bit
more detail. Something about the "exhaust gases" of the standard Federation
impulse engines are damaging the wormhole, and the Runabouts will be
modified to lessen the damage, and so the Runabouts will "tractor-beam"
(pull) the ships through the wormhole.
* Kira will be changing her uniform for the last few episodes of the season.
* We'll see Odo in a bucket.
* Fourteen episode have been filmed as of the beginning of March.
Also Note
~~~~~~~~~
Colm Meany was absent for three episodes due to the filming of "Snapper". He
will also appear in "In to the West".

Syndication Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" is a syndicated program that is sold to each
individual station. It is not part of the FOX network, although many stations
that have purchased TNG are also part of FOX. The production code # begins
with 401 in order to prevent labeling errors with the original Star Trek
series and the Next Generation.
The first run episodes are uplinked to the local stations on the Saturday and
Sunday of the Satellite Date. This uplinking is done through Keystone
Communications (formerly WOLD Communications), through AT&T's Telstar 301
which is located at 96 degrees west. The program is uplinked at the following
times on Transponder 9-Vertical Polarity (5V):
Saturdays - 10:00 AM-11:00 AM ET/ 7:00 AM- 8:00 AM PT
Saturdays - 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM ET/ 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM PT
Sundays - 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM ET/ 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM PT
The audio carriers are wide-band, and are: 6.2-left, 6.8-right, and 5.8-mono.
No scrambling is employed in the uplink. (With AT&T's Telstar 301, launched in
1983, reaching the end of it's life, and with only enough fuel to launch it
out of it's orbital slot, the feeds may be moved to AT&T's Telstar 302 (85
Degrees West) in the near future, and then to AT&T's Telstar 401, which is
slated to be launched in November of 1993 to replace Telstar 301.) The station
then airs the episode for the first time anytime during Paramount's official
week of (Monday through Sunday), although some stations (notable the Paramount
owned ones) are able to show the episodes the Sunday before the week-of in a
prime-time slot. However, this requires special permission from Paramount.

1965 - Siddig El Fadil
Did You Know....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
. . . Siddig El Fadil was originally considered to be Commander Sisko after
the producers viewed "A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia"? However, after
the producers found that Siddig was only 24, he was instead cast as Dr. Julian
Bashier.
. . . The current ruler of the Sudan is an Islamic fundamental fanatic who
took over in 1989 in a military coup and has been in charge of a reign of
terror since. His name is five unknown Arabic names Bashir. No, Siddig does
not like him.
. . . The pilot episode cost $12 million.
Operation SNAFU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opening Credits - During the opening credit sequence, we see a comet passing
by. The tail should be pointed away from the sun, however, when the camera
passes through the tail, we don't see the sun.
Dax - The production crew screwed up with the makeup of the Trill, Dax. In the
TNG episode, "The Host", Odan is seen with a V-shaped nose ridge. However,
this ridge is missing on Dax. In addition, the crew added on the "leapord"
spots, which was used on Kamalla in "The Perfect Mate".
"Past Prologie" - On the Runabout that Kira and Tana were on, they got into an
argument and Tana pulled one of 2 phasers off of the wall. Yet when Sisko
captured the runabout, both of the phasers were gone. (UV)
